Tiger Lily Hutchence, daughter of the late music legend Michael Hutchence and TV presenter Paula Yates, has tied the knot with her long-time partner, model Ben Archer.
Tiger Lily, 28, and Ben married in an intimate wedding ceremony in East London.
The couple, who have been together since early 2023, are also expecting their first child together later this year.
The celebration took place over the weekend at a cozy, artsy restaurant on Columbia Road, one of London’s most iconic and flower-filled streets.
The guest list was deliberately tight, with around 30 close friends and family members attending.
A source described the day to The Sun as ‘very chic and very low-key—exactly how Tiger Lily and Ben wanted it.’
Among those present was Tiger Lily’s adoptive father, humanitarian and musician Sir Bob Geldof, who raised her following the tragic deaths of both her biological parents.
Her half-sisters, Pixie and Fifi Geldof, were also in attendance, offering heartfelt toasts and laughter throughout the evening.
Notably, Tiger Lily’s godfather, iconic musician Nick Cave, was also invited.
The source continued to the publication that the day was filled with magic and laughter.
After exchanging vows in front of a candlelit floral display, the guests gathered for an intimate meal featuring locally sourced dishes and celebratory champagne.
Music, of course, played a big role in the evening—with a few acoustic performances rumored to have taken place, possibly even involving Nick Cave himself.
Tiger Lily has long chosen a life away from the media spotlight, in stark contrast to her sisters Pixie and the late Peaches Geldof. Born Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence in 1996, she endured a turbulent childhood.
Her father, INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, died by suicide in 1997 when she was just one year old. Three years later, her mother Paula Yates died from a heroin overdose. Tragedy struck again in 2014 when her half-sister Peaches also died from a heroin overdose at the age of 25.
Following her adoption by Geldof, Tiger Lily grew up in London but eventually relocated to Australia in her twenties.
There, she pursued a more private life and began experimenting with music. In 2022, she quietly released her debut lo-fi album under the name Heavenly, titled Tragic Tiger’s Sad Meltdown.
The raw, emotional cassette was recorded in the living room of her home in Fremantle, Western Australia, and featured songs grappling with loss and grief—particularly the death of Peaches.
‘I had always been shy to sing with others, but moving across the world and my ex-boyfriend Nick [Allbrook, of psychedelic rock band Pond] gave me some bravery,’ she shared at the time. ‘Most of the songs are about my sister, Peaches, who I lost as a teenager, so singing them aloud felt very potent. But my band always made me feel held.’
Having recently returned to London with Ben, Tiger Lily now appears to have found peace and joy. Friends say she is nesting and preparing for motherhood with excitement.
